...Nursery Rhymes- The Origin
What do I say about nursery rhymes?
We have grown up reciting them. They were and are an important part of our childhood. We sung them during class, at home, in front of guests, in the playground and a lot of us sing them even today.
Nursery rhymes were like the first form of music that we learnt and to a 3 year old, I bet they are like the Beatles or ABBA or even Taylor Swift!
But, recently, I have been wondering whether or rather WHAT these rhymes mean because, to me, they all sound pretty destructive.
We sing about children breaking their heads, lying and laughing about it and weird eggs falling off walls (well, nowhere is it written that humpty dumpty was an egg, but that’s another topic all together).
Anyway, so I decided to look it up. I decided to find out from where these nursery rhymes originated and what they mean…
Oh! And what I read, well, it was shocking.
Apparently, most of the rhymes were originated centuries ago and were used as a mode of free speech by many. They would write these rhymes to criticize the political scenes of the time as open criticism would get them killed.
Hence obviously they don’t mean happy and joyous things. But, it makes me sad to think that little children sing about such violence.
Ill tell you about the meanings of a few commonly sung rhymes across the globe…

...Mountain Lion
The topic I chose to research is a mountain lion because I find them to be an interesting living mammal. I have three cats at home and wanted to research the correlation that the mountain lion and cats share. Mountain lions affect society in way that they are an endangered set of mammals because they are known to attack people and children. They once roamed nearly all of the United States. They were prized by hunters and despised by farmers and ranchers who suffered livestock losses at their hands. This has changed my view of science by looking at the mountain lion in a biological, physiological, psychological way.
Anatomy
The mountain lion is the largest cat native to North America. Their head is small and they have a short and round face while their neck and body are elongated and narrow. The mountain lion is that their hind legs are longer than their front legs in which they utilize for running and jumping. The mountain lion has a long spinal column, which provides an increase lumbar flexation when they run. Adult mountain lions are a plain colored cat. Their color can vary from grey to dark brown to tawny and buff cinnamon red depending on the geographical location that they reside in. The tail is long, cylindrical with lots of hair. The muzzles are black located on the sides. Their upper lip, chin, and throat are whitish. The tail is the same color as body, except for the tip, which is either dark brown or black. Male mountain lions are usually larger......

...Nursery Rhymes Analysis
There are many reasons why nursery rhymes continue to be a big hit in children’s lives. The fact that nursery rhymes are usually accompanied by a chant or a physical trait (performance) makes it easier for children to internalize the rhymes. The frequency in which children use these nursery rhymes is quite high. Yet, children themselves are oblivious to how often they use them. They use them at school during instructional time, but most important, they use them at play. Nursery rhymes have elements that assist with cognitive, lanugage , physical and social/ emotional developments. Some of these rhymes have significant meaning (historical meaning), some even include a moral lesson.
Transition times are often difficult for preschool children and their teachers. These early childhood rhymes and songs help children move from one activity to another. When children become familiar with just a few transitional rhymes they become secure in their knowledge of what comes next. Many nursery rhymes use the classic number three. For example, The Three Little Pigs, portrays this classic number three. This pattern seems to add drama and suspense while making the story easy to remember and follow. The third event often signals a change or ending for the audience/reader. A third time also dismisses coincidence such as two repetitive events would suggest. The number three’s popularity has been considered powerful across history in different cultures and religions.......

...Running head: Mountain Belt Formation
Differences between the Himalayas and Appalachian Mountain Ranges
Roberto Fernandez
Axia College
I chose to write my narrative about the two most different and popular mountain ranges in the world. The Himalayas are located in Asia and are know for some of the highest peaks in the world, some of which are K2 and Mt. Everest. I chose the Himalayas for the popularity and of course, it has the highest peak in the world. The Appalachians are located in North America. I chose the Appalachians because I have lived in New York and New Jersey my whole life and I felt I had to pay homage to them.
The Himalayas span over six countries in the Asian continent. India, Tibet, Afghanistan, Nepal, China and Pakistan all have the Himalayas as a permanent resident. These mountains are responsible for three of the planets foremost rivers which are the Ganga-Brahmaputra, Yangtze and Indus. Over a billion inhabitants depend on the flowing waters from these rivers. One of the newest mountain belts on the planet are the Himalayas. Based on the premise of plate tectonics the Himalayas were formed over 70 million years ago during the Upper Cretaceous period. They are the effect of orogeny (continental collision) down the convergent boundary amid the Eurasion and Indo-Australian plates. Currently the Indo-Australian plate is at constant motion traveling over 65 mm/year, about the......

Weston Nurseries is a family owned business which has been operated by the Mezitt family for four generations. Peter Mezitt founded Weston nurseries in 1923, and it has grown to employ 250 people on hundreds of acres of land. The nursery has a reputation for high-quality products, a wide variety, and only selling what they grow themselves.

Their extremely different personality characteristics have caused tension whenever business decisions need to be made, and has been negatively impacting business.

This has led them to arguments, frustration, tension, and is severely impacting the employees and business.
Although Wayne and Roger Mezitt are the key players in this case, there are other key players that influence and motivate the business decisions of Weston Nurseries. Ed, their father is, still very involved in the nursery and......

...People are always looking forward to their vacation period. There are many options where to choose. I think that the two most common places people choose for taking a vacation are the beaches and the mountains. Both places offer a variety of fun activities. The beach offers activities that the mountain cannot offer and vice versa. The mountain and the beach are totally different. The purpose of this essay is to contrast the climate, types of activities and locations of beaches and mountains.
I’m going to discuss mountains first. The three aspects I’m going to discuss are climate, types of activities and location. Climate is always important in order to enjoy vacations. If a person dislikes cold weather, he or she might have a hard time in the mountains. The cold climate in the mountains is the first barrier to enjoying them, but the climate and the temperature of these zones also determine the types of activities they offer. Snow boarding, mountain climbing, mountain biking, hiking, and skiing are some activities people can enjoy when going to the mountains. There are many regions that have mountains where people can go and have a great vacation. Canada is a country located in North America and contains many mountain vacation sites where people can go and have fun.
I’m going to discuss the beach second. The three aspects I’m going to discuss are climate, types of activities and location. Warm climate is one of the most important features that the beach has. Sun and fun......

...NORTH KOREA
Nicholas Eastman
There are a few different countries that, in my opinion, would be enjoyable to visit and study their culture. One country in particular seems to stick out to me. I have always been taught about democracy in school, as well as other government styles, but have never first hand experienced another style of government. For this reason I chose North Korea, based on their centralized communist ways. I opinionate this to be an interesting way of life and would like to learn more about how people live under a communist government. From what I know about North Korea, rules seem strict and the people do not have the same rights as we do in the United States, which leaves me wondering how my life would be different, living under the same conditions as North Koreans.
The geography of North Korea represents a peninsula, attached to Manchuria, China, and a small portion of the USSR (Geography). This 600 mile long peninsula is just above the 38th parallel, with a size of just above 45,000 square miles (Geo). With this, it makes the country itself smaller than the state of Pennsylvania. The make-up of the land in North Korea consists of several mountain ranges, lined up north to south, with small valleys in between each (Geo). This does not allow for many rural areas, leading to large cities populated by millions of people. The Yalu River forms a portion of the northern border with Manchuria (Geo). The mountains in the country prevent large farms,......

CASE OVERVIEW
PepsiCo was widely considered to be one of the most sophisticated and aggressive marketing companies in the world. In North America, the company had three divisions, each with category-leading brands. Pepsi and Mountain Dew were the number two and three soft drinks. Frito-Lay dominated the salty-snack category with Ruffles, Lay's, Doritos, and Cheetos. And the company had recently acquired Tropicana, the leading juice brand. In 2000, PepsiCo had acquired the SoBe line of teas and "functional" drinks from South Beach Beverages, which it operated as a stand-alone subsidiary
Mountain Dew had carried PepsiCo's soft drink revenues during the 1990s as cola brands struggled. But now the Do the Dew campaign( the famous "Do the Dew" campaign that had catapulted Mountain Dew to the number three position in its category) was entering its eighth year, a long stretch by any consumer goods baseline. Many other brands were now sponsoring the same alternative sports that Mountain Dew had relied upon to boost its image. Teens were also gravitating to new activities and new music that Dew's competitors had successfully exploited in their branding activities. Figuring out how to keep the campaign working hard to maintain the brand's relevance with its target consumers had become a chief preoccupation of senior management at both PepsiCo and BBDO. At the same time, key competitors were raising their ad budgets as competition in both the Carbonated Soft Drink (CSD) and......

History[edit]
Lullabies[edit]
Main article: Lullaby
The oldest children's songs of which we have records are lullabies, intended to help a child sleep. Lullabies can be found in every human culture.[2] The English term lullaby is thought to come from "lu, lu" or "la la" sound made by mothers or nurses to calm children, and "by by" or "bye bye", either another lulling sound, or a term for good night.[3] Until the modern era lullabies were usually only recorded incidentally in written sources. The Roman nurses' lullaby, "Lalla, Lalla, Lalla, aut dormi, aut lacta", is recorded in a scholiumon Persius and may be the oldest to survive.[4]
Many medieval English verses associated with the birth......

This case study will analyse this situation in relation to information flows and decision making, strategy management and customer relations and communication. In doing so, it will access a range of source materials from general business websites (Stacy, 2012), academic journals and management texts (Schermerhorn et al., 2015; Krizan et. Al., 2011). These research resources will support the analysis of the challenge of the North Face to enhance performance and general acceptance by Chinese people. The case will provide key findings from the analysis and offer a range of recommendations for the North Face’s management to consider as solutions to address the identified management strategic challenge.

...The Great North Road is explained explicitly by the Marshall and Soffar’s theory and this is of essence to the Anasaza culture. As depicted by the theory, the road builds a tie within communities and acted as a source of relevance to the Anasaza communities which enhanced their relationship and culture in one way or another. This helped build the ties within them creating a societal understanding as illustrated by the archaeological understanding of the Great North Road.
The North Road stretches from the North of Puelblo Alto to Aztec ruins which are a city and not a mountain (Stephen 115).The Great North Road is suggested to be straight and aligned in land escape (Brad 68).It follows that it is visibly recognizable up from the clear skies as it stretches through the mountains. As the connection may be seen, the road runs through the mountains in a straight manner, therefore explaining an enhanced connection between the communities living there. It appears from its broad length and vast expansiveness many scholars have named it ‘Great North Road’ (Saffeur 165)
The road is believed to be built and engineered with expertise from its design and construction(Brad 68).The Road is dated back to 1050 AD where the Anasaza community started the construction of the roads of approximately 30 feet in width(Gabriel et al,56).The roads extends up to fifteen hundred miles to the Anasaza towns of New Mexico,Uttah,Colarado,Arizona leading to the religious connection between the communities......

Nursery Rhymes
Most children love being told nursery rhymes. Many of the nursery rhymes that we have read to our children have their origins in British history. Rhymes were written for many different reasons. Some rhymes were written to honor a particular local event that has since been forgotten, while others were written to express feelings of love. Rhymes were also used to hide real meanings, such as when someone wanted to express displeasure toward the government or the sovereign without being executed. Another reason for rhymes is that they’re easy to remember, and therefore could be spread by word-of-mouth—an essential feature for a large population of people who could not read or write. So here are some of many nursery rhymes that have been written:
Jack be Nimble
(aka Jack b Nimble)
Jack be nimble
Jack be quick
Jack jump over
The candlestick.
Little Tommy Tucker
Little Tommy Tucker sings for his supper,
What shall we give him? Brown bread and butter.
How shall he cut it without a knife?
How shall he marry without a wife?
The Grand old Duke of York
The Grand old Duke of York he had ten thousand men
He marched them up to the top of the hill
And he marched them down again.
When they were up, they were up
And when they were down, they were down
And when they were only halfway up
They were neither up nor down.
